We, the undersigned, are concerned citizens who urge our Truckee Town Council members to reject this project, as it creates more problems than solutions for the Town of Truckee.
Why is this important?
On May 22nd the Truckee Town Council will decide the appeal for whether or not Grocery Outlet can build a new store across Donner Pass Road from Safeway. Our community has demonstrated repeatedly in the last year that sustainability is a primary concern. This project is a step backward for town sustainability. It is redundant given our current options of Safeway, Savemart, and New Moon, not to mention the approved Raley’s and Railyard grocery stores. Nearby residents are legitimately concerned that their once sleepy residential streets will be used as an alternate access route. Furthermore, the project jeopardizes access to an under-served part of town and congests an already crowded thoroughfare. New projects should make the Town of Truckee more livable, not less.
